Additional information
The potential for short duration (17 min), extremely low-magnitude (25 micrometer), high-frequency (30 Hz) interfragmentary displacements to enhance fracture healing was evaluated in a mid-diaphyseal, 3-mm osteotomy of the sheep tibia. These 25-micrometer displacements, induced by a ferroactive shape-memory alloy in the external fixator resulted in enhanced fracture healing. This application of low magnitude specific frequency stimulation in a translational large animal model provided evidence for the human clinical use of this in fracture healing.
